Even if your resort is relatively close to Marsa Alam Airport, for example around Aladdin, a shared transfer is not always quick: the bus may stop at several hotels first, which makes the real journey longer.

Travelers worried about the long airport transfer usually need to check not only the distance to their hotel but also the transfer type. In Marsa Alam, the issue is often not the kilometers themselves but the multiple hotel stops on a shared coach.
